    Itk are suggesting to wash the packaging; certain surfaces can hold the droplets from 24 hours +

    Copper is one of the best surfaces; the virus only lasts a few hours

    Depends on surfaces

    The virus lives longest on plastic and steel, surviving for up to 72 hours. But the amount of viable virus decreases sharply over this time.

    It also does poorly on copper, surviving four hours.

    On cardboard, it survives up to 24 hours, which suggests packages that arrive in the mail should have only low levels of the virus

    — unless the delivery person has coughed or sneezed on it or has handled it with contaminated hands.

    I read in a few places the droplets/virus could survive on some surfaces for up to 3 days

    I help my old man with his shopping on a Sunday morning, when I get back I wash my hands really thoroughly, put everything away including all the bags (he doesn't use anything we buy or have contact with it within 3 days of us buying it) then wash my hands really thoroughly again, I figure that's a safe as i can possibly be. I make him do the same

    It's a very long story of numerous society and people within it having the incredible potential to act like complete and utter cxxx's related traumas.

    From a very young age I was at odds with society, I could see where it was heading and people's behaviour changing within it and becoming increasingly self centred and worse and to quote John Coffey "it was like glass in my eyes every day" and I really had a severe aversion to it

    So I ended up working for bands doing live shows for 15 years, it's a bit like footballers, you have very limited interactions with general society, every time I tried to do something in normal society, it ended up with a trauma through people being cxxxs because through all forms of media they've been educated that behaving as a lot of them do is ok, when it absolutely isn't

    I do have some inherited disorders, I also, according to dialogue I had via email with a leading professor in the field, most likely have acquired left side savant syndrome, following a severe right side head trauma, after which I quickly became aware of having a high level of ability to do things I hadn't had before and increased ability in some things I was already pretty good at that related to left side brain function

    That made it even harder - after all the traumas and having been left with PTSD after a prolonged one that went on for several years where I worked in Manc, let's just say, it makes it's a lot safer for all concerned that I avoid general society

    The dialogue with the acquired savants guy was incredibly interesting, it's not like crazy off the scale savants, it's heightened ability. We were discussing the degrees of acquired savants and whether or not they were dependent on the amount of damage to the other side of the brain and whether or not it were possible to develop heightened abilities in both sides of the brain depending on the severity of the damage and area of the damage. He was adamant all those things applied as it's entirely logical.

    It's pretty straight forward what it is, if you suffer a severe head trauma, that damages one side of your brain, the other side can compensate, people who develop incredible off the scale abilities from acquired savants they didn't previously have, the exceptional cases that people pay a lot of attention to, are people who have suffered massive trauma to one side of the brain, weirdly, it's almost always the left side they seem to damage
